Over the past six or more decades, John Friedmann has been an
insurgent force in the field of urban and regional planning,
transforming it from its traditional state-centered concern for
establishing social and spatial order into a radical domain of
collaborative action between state and civil society for creating
'the good society' in the present and future. By opening it up to
theoretical engagement with a wide range of disciplines,
Friedmann's contributions have revolutionised planning as a
transdisciplinary space of critical thinking, social learning, and
reflective practice. Insurgencies and Revolutions brings together
former students, close research associates, and colleagues of John
Friedmann to reflect on his contributions to planning theory and
practice. The volume is organized around five broad themes where
Friedmann's contributions have risen to challenge established
paradigms and generated the space for revolutionary thinking and
action in urban and regional planning - Theorising hope; Economic
development and regionalism; World cities and the Good city; Social
learning, empowered communities, and citizenship; and Chinese
cities. The essays by the authors reflect their engagement with his
ideas and the new directions in which they have taken these in
their work in planning theory and practice.
This title was first published in 2000. Asia has developed very
rapidly in the last quarter of the century and will be a main focus
of the world in the 21st century. With rapid growth and
development, the urban areas in the region are undergoing dramatic
changes. An appreciation of the heterogeneous nature of Asian
cities and the related planning practices is the first step to
understand various urban development problems in the region. This
book is a consolidated effort by prominent scholars in Asian
planning schools to explore urban development and planning
practices in Asia. The book reflects on and examines some of the
past and current challenges and considers future prospects of urban
and regional planning, environment, housing, redevelopment and
conservation and planning education in Asia. This book should be
useful to students, teachers, researchers and professionals and
people who are interested in urban development, planning and
environment in Asia.

This study compares urban planning mechanisms that operate within
Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. The political economy of Hong Kong
is in a state of flux. While the power of the government and the
corporate interests remain largely intact, they are challenged by
pro-China interests and a democratizing civil society. The land use
planning system reflects this power contest. In the face of both
strong resistance from the development industry and China's
eagerness to perpetuate a market-led society in post-1997 Hong
Kong, the outcome of the power contest remains uncertain. The
state-centred political economy of Singapore has bred a top-down
land use planning system centrally controlled by the government.
Not only has the government dominated the plan making process, the
legislation has entrusted the public sector to scrutinize and guide
private development through a discretionary development control
system.
